Patricia Clarkson and Ruba Nadda to Reteam for HBO Drama

After winning two Emmys for her guest turn as Sarah O’Connor on HBO’s Six Feet Under, Patricia Clarkson is eyeing a return to the premium channel, this time in a starring role.

Clarkson is in talks to play the title character in Elisabeth, which the Hollywood Reporter describes as "a romantic drama set in the world of international politics."

Elisabeth would reunite the Pieces of April Oscar nominee with her Cairo Time director Ruba Nadda. Nadda is to write and direct the pilot, as well as co-executive produce with Clarkson and Six Feet Under showrunner Alan Poul.
